86 Sunset View Drive, Saugerties, NY 12477

Property Description

Tucked at the end of a long private driveway, this custom log home is a rare blend of warm rustic craftsmanship and modern comfort. Sited at the center of 6.5 acres, with sweeping views of a neighbor's pond in front and the Catskill Mountains in back, the house is thoughtfully laid out, with wrap-around covered decks on all sides to take in the scenery, fenced garden, wildlife and sunsets. Inside, a stunning double-height great room with a grand river-stone fireplace is flanked by a large primary suite with a room-sized walk-in shower on one end, and another bedroom, with its own bathroom, on the other, each with French doors opening to the porch, complete with hot tub. It's an arrangement that maximizes privacy, and it's duplicated upstairs, with 2 additional bedrooms and a third full bathroom on either side of a peak-roofed loft space that overlooks the living room and the natural landscape beyond. All three bathrooms are stylishly finished with oversized designer-tiled showers with frameless glass surrounds, evoking the feel of a luxury mountain lodge; and the open kitchen and dining area feature all the latest amenities, too, including a high-powered cooktop exhaust vent discreetly mounted in the ceiling, and a full coffee bar. A generously scaled laundry room, also accessible from the wrap-around porch, completes the main floor, with lots more additional storage space in the mammoth ICF-constructed full basement. HVAC systems include 7-zone heating, ducted central air-conditioning on the first floor, and high-efficiency ductless split A/C units in each bedroom upstairs. There's also a Level 2 EV charging station in the 2-car garage, plus hard-wired high-speed internet and TV despite the feeling of off-the-grid wooded seclusion. It's the perfect marriage of rustic and modern, located just minutes from area golf courses, and the shops and restaurants of the ever-popular Saugerties village center.
